Programs and Initiatives

Moms, moms-to-be, families. We got you.

Cradle Cincinnati is a resource for moms, moms-to-be and their family and friends who provide you with support. With our community partners, we provide services, supplies, advice and education for your health and well-being before, during and after your pregnancy. Our goal is to see you and your baby celebrate their first birthday.

Our team of community health workers, dietitians, educators and advisors help women and their families navigate and choose services in their community that best meet their immediate needs before, during and after pregnancy. It could be getting baby a crib, helping mom schedule and get to doctor appointments or working to secure housing. Through Connections, our moms and the littlest lives in Cincinnati are never alone.

Queens Village is a supportive community of powerful Black women who come together to relax, repower and take care of themselves and each other.

We are shifting not only racial disparities in birth outcomes but also the conditions that drive inequity in maternal and infant health. We provide a safe space for Black mothers to support and be supported by their peers, connect, relieve stress, process trauma and build a better world together for ourselves and our children. With our members, we are collaborating and creating an organization with purpose.
